Individual and organisational predictors of prosocial service behaviour amongemployees in cruise line industry
No full textOva disertacija pruža uvid u strukturu povezanosti LMX razmene, emocionalne inteligencije i prosocijalnog ponašanja (iznad okvira radnih uloga, unutar okvira radnih uloga i kooperativnosti) zaposlenih na rečnim kruzerima. Anketno istraživanje je sprovedeno na uzorku od 270 zaposlenih na 12 luksuznih kruzera koji krstare evropskim rekama. LMX razmena i emocionalna inteligencija su se pokazali kao prediktori prosocijalnog ponašanja izvan okvira radnih uloga, unutar okvira radnih uloga i kooperativnosti. Utvrđeno je medijatorno dejstvo LMX razmene na vezu između upravljanja emocijama i prosocijalnog ponašanja unutar radnih uloga, pri čemu LMX razmena umanjuje uticaj upravljanja emocijama na ovaj domen prosocijalnog ponašanja. Takođe, LMX razmena vrši medijatornu funkciju na vezu između empatije i kooperativnosti pri čemu se uticaj empatije umanjuje. Zaključno, utvrđeno je medijatorno dejstvo LMX razmene na vezu između samosvesti i kooperativnosti pri čemu LMX razmena umanjuje uticaj samosvesti. Na osnovu ovih rezultata, prikazan je praktični i naučni doprinos istraživanja.This research provides an insight into the relationship structure of LMX exchange, emotional intelligence, and prosocial service behavior (extra-role, in-role behavior and cooperativeness) of employees in cruise industry. The survey was conducted on a sample of 270 respondents employed on twelve luxury river cruise ships that cruise European rivers. LMX exchange and emotional intelligence turned out to be predictors of extra-role, in-role behaviour and cooperativeness, whereby LMX has a mediating function on the relation between between the management of emotions and in-role behavior, where LMX reduces the impact of management of emotions. Also, LMX exchange has a mediating function on the relation between the empathy and cooperation whereby the influence of empathy is reduced. In conclusion, it was found that LMX exchange has a mediating function on the relation between the self- awareness and cooperation whereby LMX exchange reduces the impact of self-awareness. Based on these findings, both managerial and research implications are presented

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Is cruising along European rivers primarily intended for seniors and workers from Eastern Europe?
No full textThe subject of the paper is river cruising along the rivers of Europe in Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland, France, Austria, Slovakia, Hungary, Croatia, Serbia, Bulgaria, Romania and Italy. The research needed to determine the trends in terms of consumers and labour force, particularly considering great political and economic changes in Europe (and the world) in the last ten years. The aims of the research were set in relation to the following: to determine the profile of a tourist as well as the crew members. This paper is based on empirical and theoretical research. It combines quantitative primary and secondary as well as qualitative data collection (interview). Primary data was collected from the 'Uniworld' company by analysing crew manifests in order to define the demographical profile of the employees. Secondary data collection was used to define the profile of the tourist, where latest relevant publications were consulted. Qualitative method was used to gain more insight in the latest trends of River Cruising by interweaving the managers of the 'Uniworld' company. It was determined that 'baby boomers' are no longer prevalent on the cruise ships, but the 'millennials' cohort are on the rise. Such changes will require a new approach among the cruising companies - in terms of the concept of service delivery and marketing. However, among employees there is no significant change, suggesting that this type of job market is tightly regulated by EU regulations. This research offers valuable data in the field of tourism destination management, as well as the needs of some stakeholders, especially in terms of human resources management and management of strategic development issues. This is important both for the countries which already have positioned themselves on the cruising market as well as for emerging destinations
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
